The Boyfriends I Picked Up in Horror Games Are Bizarre - Chapter 88

The gate to the yard was left open, weeds had overrun the courtyard, and not a single light was on in the house.

Su Youyou could only assume that no one lived here. When she arrived by car, she saw many houses in darkness, which showed that this remote neighborhood was sparsely populated.

That must be unbearable for Bai Yao, who was used to a life of luxury.

“Meow~”

Su Youyou squatted down and stroked the black cat’s head. She had already heard footsteps behind her, so she deliberately put on the gentlest expression and murmured to the cat in a cute tone, “No one wants you either? Just like me, no one likes us.”

By the end, she lowered her head in disappointment. Maybe she was reminded of how she was always bullied for coming from an ordinary background. Even her side profile showed a trace of sorrow.

How adorable is a girl who speaks gently to small animals.

However, the black cat suddenly bared its teeth, raised its paw, and scratched Su Youyou hard on the back of her hand.

Su Youyou cried out in pain and fell backward, landing on the ground.

Beitang Jun quickly ran over. “Youyou, are you okay?”

Beitang Jun helped Su Youyou up. She looked at the bloody scratch marks on the back of her hand and glared angrily at the cat.

The black cat flicked its tail as if in provocation, then turned and darted into the house.

Su Youyou leaned weakly into Beitang Jun’s arms. “It hurts.”

Beitang Jun stared in the direction where the cat had disappeared, his brows furrowed and his expression icy. He said in an impressively cool tone, “I will definitely make it pay the price.”

With that, he ran after the cat.

“Youyou, are you alright?” This was Nangong Hao, who arrived a moment later. He held Su Youyou’s injured hand, and his gaze turned cold. “What happened?”

Tears welled up in Su Youyou’s eyes. “A cat scratched me.”

“Heh, that cat is really bold, daring to hurt my woman.” Nangong Hao asked, “Where did the cat go?”

Su Youyou pointed in a direction with a bitter expression. “There.”

Nangong Hao: “Wait for me.”

“Youyou!” This time, it was Ximen Lie, who arrived two steps too late. But just as he was about to step into the courtyard, someone grabbed his hand.

Dongfang Xuan held He Cai slung over one shoulder with one hand, while grabbing Ximen Lie with the other. He said, “Don’t go in!”

He had a feeling that the house was dangerous because he could hear many chaotic sounds emanating from it. The noise made his scalp tingle and gave him a very bad feeling.

But when Ximen Lie saw Su Youyou’s small, fragile figure standing alone in the grass, he shook off Dongfang Xuan’s hand and walked straight toward her. “Youyou, what happened?”

Su Youyou looked like a delicate little white lotus swaying pitifully in the wind. She sniffled and said in a soft, helpless voice, “A cat scratched me.”

Ximen Lie: “Damn it! I’ll bury its entire family with it!”

And with that, he too headed into the house.

Su Youyou: [What a bunch of brainless rich fools. All I did was cry a little, and they’re tripping over each other to stand up for me. I’m a natural at playing the little white lotus. How could I not captivate them?]

Su Youyou looked toward Dongfang Xuan, who was standing outside the courtyard gate, and frowned in confusion.

[Strange, why hasn’t Dongfang Xuan, who’s usually the dumbest and richest of them all, come rushing over to shower me with attention today? This guy used to claim every day that he wasn’t interested in me, but he’s just a tsundere. Whenever I got even a little close to other guys, he’d get jealous. So why no reaction today?]

[Is it because I’ve been too cold to him lately, so now he’s playing hard to get?]

Thinking this, Su Youyou decided to give Dongfang Xuan a taste of sweetness. She cupped her hands in front of her chest, eyes brimming with tears. “Dongfang…”

But before she could finish, Dongfang Xuan didn’t even listen to what she was saying. He just hoisted He Cai over his shoulder and turned to leave.

Su Youyou frowned. Even if he was trying to use He Cai to make her jealous, he didn’t need to act so convincingly!

He Cai had also seen Su Youyou and became even more certain that Dongfang Xuan had brought her over just to vent his anger on Su Youyou’s behalf, face to face. The moment Dongfang Xuan turned, she began to struggle even harder.

Dongfang Xuan lost his grip for a second, and He Cai tumbled off his shoulder. Luckily, it was just grass, and since she was wearing thick clothing, she wasn’t badly hurt.

“He Cai!”

Dongfang Xuan reached to help her, but He Cai quickly scrambled to her feet and took off running, shouting as she went, “I’m not apologizing to Su Youyou! Don’t even think about it!”

Dongfang Xuan had no idea how He Cai could run so fast in such a heavy dress, but he immediately chased after her.

In the courtyard, Su Youyou raised an eyebrow. As expected, she thought, she acted the little white lotus so well—there’s no way Dongfang Xuan, that rich fool, could resist her charm.

He Cai, in a panic and running blindly, couldn’t avoid the man who suddenly appeared in front of her. She stepped on a stone, lost her balance, grabbed onto something, and with a loud thump, fell to the ground.

When she recovered and slowly looked up, she was met with a pair of bare male legs. Above them were bright red underwear, harsh on the eyes.

She froze.

The man, dressed in a trench coat and looking unkempt, stood there unfazed, as if not even an earthquake could ruffle him. He took a drag from his cigarette and calmly said, “If you don’t let go, I could sue you for sexual harassment.”

He Cai looked down at the pants she was clutching and immediately let go.

The man, still expressionless, pulled up his pants.

At that moment, Dongfang Xuan caught up. He called out urgently, “He Cai, come with me!”

He Cai shouted back, “No! I’m not going with you!”

Dongfang Xuan’s face turned grim. He stepped forward and grabbed He Cai’s hand before she could get up, but in the blink of an eye, his arm twisted with a jolt of pain, and the world spun around him. He had been thrown to the ground with an over-the-shoulder toss by the man.

Next, both his hands were pulled behind his back. Click! He was handcuffed.

Dongfang Xuan couldn’t even struggle. Furious, he yelled, “Who the hell are you? Let me go!”

The man raised his hand holding his cigarette and took another drag. Then he turned around, pulled a police ID from his pocket, and showed it to He Cai. “Lucky for you, kid. You don’t need to call the cops. I’m handling this.”

He Cai was dumbfounded.

The name on the police ID was Chen Shuo.

Meanwhile, Su Youyou was still waiting for the F3 trio to come out. She gently ran her fingers through her hair and thought to herself how irresistible her little white lotus act was. She decided that whoever caught the cat would earn the privilege of escorting her to the hospital.

After a long wait, noise finally came from the house.

“There’s a ghost!!!”

The three rich and handsome young men burst out in panic, so disoriented that they ran straight into Su Youyou without even noticing.

Su Youyou glared at their retreating backs in anger. Before she could open her mouth to curse them out, she seemed to hear a faint creak creak sound coming from behind her.
